1. Can Addiction be "Cured"

   thecasurvivor replied to longhornfan1's topic in General Nursing

   I'm glad this topic came up. I never did drugs until I became a nurse in 1997. Started out with a tooth abscess and an idiot dentist who called in 30 Percocet before I even saw him, and once I had that euphoric feeling, I knew what I wanted. I began ...

2. How to pass the exam

   thecasurvivor replied to JER07's topic in NCLEX

   okay sorry

3. Failed a 2nd time and am ready to move on with the rest of my life...

   thecasurvivor replied to Metabaronx's topic in NCLEX

   I took the test on August 20th and failed... I tend to agree with the previous post in that after you fail once, it diminishes your confidence. I hadn't picked up a book since and just started, hoping to do Suzanne's plan since I can't afford a cours...

4. How to pass the exam

   thecasurvivor replied to JER07's topic in NCLEX

   Information on Suzanne's plan is under a different thread... look for the NCLEX forum and you will see different threads. However, before you contact her by P.M., you need to get Saunder's fourth edition... it says to NOT read the whole book but do t...

5. Failed a 2nd time and am ready to move on with the rest of my life...

   thecasurvivor replied to Metabaronx's topic in NCLEX

   well, i had been out of nursing 7 years and let my liscence lapse. I paid, studied for, and took the NCLEX but I think I may have been snowing myself into believing it would all come back to me. It was hard enough when I was fresh out of school. That...

6. Failed a 2nd time and am ready to move on with the rest of my life...

   thecasurvivor replied to Metabaronx's topic in NCLEX

   Keep trying. I was a nursing for 10 years and got cancer. Was out of nursing for another 7 and never payed to have my liscence renewed because I didn't think I'd want to be a nurse again, ever, due to personal reasons. I got a change of heart last ye...

7. Failed nclex

   thecasurvivor replied to mochagirl's topic in NCLEX

   Regarding Suzanne's technique... a friend of mine gave me the third edition of Saunders... I noted that she states to use the fourth edition... is there a difference and should I go ahead and buy the saunders fourth?

8. Passed NCLEX-RN 3rd time(my tips)

   thecasurvivor replied to SoniaFLRN's topic in NCLEX

   When I failed on August the 20th, I didn't realize it, but I went through the stages of grief. At first, it was like, "oh, I'll take it again; it's okay, a learning experience"... then I got mad at the money I had spent and mad at MYSELF (we are our ...

9. taking nclex rn for the 5th time!

   thecasurvivor replied to wishiwasarn's topic in NCLEX

   I find this forum encouraging. It's great to know there are people still plugging away at the NCLEX. I think it shows great fortitude. I'm currently doing the first tip Suzanne suggests... however, I'd also like to know if anyone has tried any of tho...

11. Failed nclex

    thecasurvivor replied to mochagirl's topic in NCLEX

    sorry, silver dragon, I asked the pm question on another board too!! So, I assume we don't pm her until after through with the Saunders book?

12. taking nclex rn for the 5th time!

    thecasurvivor replied to wishiwasarn's topic in NCLEX

    I haven't purchased any other materials except the Saunder's book she recommends. To my understand, she stated to answer all the test questions at the end of each chapter; if I struggle or fail, go back over the material. I'm not sure what to do afte...

    you can do it!!

15. taking nclex rn for the 5th time!

    thecasurvivor replied to wishiwasarn's topic in NCLEX

    I took the NCLEX over weeks ago and failed after being out of nursing for 7 years. I thought I was ready, but.... in retrospect, does anyone thinks it's easier to take a 6 month review course at a college before taking them? I was going to do that o...
